Lyrics 8:24 (Kobe Tribute) - 6am

RIP...
To a legend...
My hero...

You showed me growth came with work
Proved to me that you can find gold in the dirt
You were from the suburbs but showed me you were hood too
And that was something that, I would always look to
I always dreamed of showing all my kids who you were
The one who taught me how to push through all the hurt

I ain′t have a hero 'till I found you
I ain′t really have a hero 'till I found you

Now I know how Bino felt when Nip died
Smoking blunts on blunts tryna get by
Devastated tryna see
'Cause its fake if the source is TMZ
Go on IG, seen the post from GaryVee
Broken hearts and Dame replied to the tweet
That′s when my heart sank
Rolled up the best dank
There′s nothing else that I could do
Gianna was the closest thing that we could get to you
I pray for everyone lost and your wife and kids too

This is life man
You gone as quick as you came
And all you gots your legacy and what you built with your name
I had a father, but lacked a father figure
And that's why I looked to you when problems seemed bigger
I applied your mentality to everything
′Cause time is of the essence, so once you go and invest it, you can go be anything
Your drive made me wanna stay sober
Your composure as a closer showed me how to be a man 'till it′s over
I started watching ball late
I didn't see you drop 81 on my city
I′m thankful 'cause I loved you even though you turnt up on my city
I'm 24 now, hope that you′re riding round with me

′Till the sands of time fill the hourglass
Rest in peace a king and queen that we had
I just wanna thank you for the lessons that you taught me
'Till the day I die I know that you got me

RIP

I never thought I′d cry for someone I didn't know
But that′s what happens when your heroes go
I never thought I'd cry for someone I didn′t know
But that's what happens when your heroes go

RIP

RIP

Yeah, yeah
I was left to fight with the snakes and the lions
Toe to toe with the giants
I go hard Kobe Bryant

Lights in the night looking vibrant
All I 'member was sirens
5 rings all in diamonds

Had to fight with snakes and the lions
Lost a star, no Orion
I go hard Kobe Bryant uh

Had to go and live through the violence
Toe to toe with the giants
I go hard Kobe Bryant

I need to pay the rent, the heat, and cover for my bills
Could you, understand I got a day, and I would start to think of you
There′s 10 seconds, I′m about to win it all bitch
I was flipping, flipping packs up in the halls bitch
Felt like I dropped 50, 4 re's in a row
Had your bros on the road
I felt more like the coach uh
See the devil tryna rise 2020
Tryna cope, sipping Remy
We was out counting pennies
Work ethic on my Mamba shit
Bills are stacking, hustle racking commas, put that on my mama
This a different animal, but the same beast
My vision clear up, HD
Going rabid like it′s rabies
Pourin JD out with JD
They cut the lights, they cut the cable
We were to young to help, we weren't able
I′m at Hendo, hoop dreaming that it's Staples
For my team forever faithful, I be grateful
Imma grind, I promise one day we′ll be stable
You balled with your finger hanging off
How bad you wanna win it?
I go hard Kobe Bryant
Treat the finals like a scrimmage
I don't fuck with nobody who would switch up for they're image
Or a man who′d pull then switch up for some bitches
Mamba face, I feel like Kobe now
Don′t fuck wit me, no one can slow me down
Been going hard like this for you dawg
May heaven feel like dropping 60 up on Utah

I was left to fight with the snakes and the lions
Toe to toe with the giants
I go hard Kobe Bryant

Lights in the night looking vibrant
All I 'member was sirens
5 rings all in diamonds

Had to fight with snakes and the lions
Lost a star, no Orion
I go hard Kobe Bryant uh

Had to go and live through the violence
Toe to toe with the giants
I go hard Kobe Bryant
